Semi O/T: Got a pickup with 2.0 16V, do I need Motronic?

[sad_rocc at yahoo.com (Dan Smith)]

I have a friend who bought the Autotech fuel module and loves it. He has an 87 16v stock except for a turbo pushing 6psi. He said in the upper RPMs there was a definite 'seat of the pants' difference. I personally have no experience with such mod, but I do know it can be built cheaply and easily for about 1/5th of what the companies are asking for it.

PS- These modules are adjustable in some fashion right? I think I remember hearing you could adjust the amount of fueling with a little dial.

Yeah, I don't know what tranny is in this, but I do know that it is a close-
ratio box with the tall 5th, so it should be a fun combo...
